How to follow up quotes that went quiet
Most quotes don't get rejected. They just never hear from you again. Following up is the cheapest sales work there is — and your software can do it for you.

What to know
Day 2 · 7 · 14
Follow up until they answer, then stop
Day 2, 7 and 14 works for most trades. Big decisions take longer — roofers follow up for six weeks. Always stop the moment they reply.
Health software doesn't have this — work around it
A treatment plan is a quote too, but no practice software follows it up. A $9-a-month workaround does the same job.

When not to solve this with software
Follow-up belongs on quotes that are genuinely being compared. Work that was never shopped needs no sequence — and a quote you could not honestly give in the first place should not exist to be chased.
